2011 journal article

Differential expression of genes characterizing myofibre phenotype

ANIMAL GENETICS, 43(3), 298–308.

By: L. Nierobisz n, K. Sporer *, G. Strasburg *, K. Reed, S. Velleman *, C. Ashwell n , J. Felts n, P. Mozdziak n 

Contributors: L. Nierobisz n, K. Sporer *, G. Strasburg *, K. Reed, S. Velleman *, C. Ashwell n , J. Felts n, P. Mozdziak n 

author keywords: gene expression; microarray; muscle phenotype; turkey
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; DNA, Complementary / genetics; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation; Male; Meat; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / metabolism; Muscle Proteins / genetics; Muscle Proteins / metabolism; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Phenotype; Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction; Turkeys / genetics; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / metabolism
TL;DR: The gene analysis revealed that phenotypically 'red' BF muscle has high expression of glycolytic genes usually associated with the 'white' muscle phenotype, which may have large implications in muscle-type-related disorders and improvement of muscle quality in agricultural species.

2010 journal article

Fiber Phenotype and Coenzyme Q(10) Content in Turkey Skeletal Muscles

CELLS TISSUES ORGANS, 192(6), 382–394.

By: L. Nierobisz n, N. Hentz n, J. Felts n & P. Mozdziak* 

Contributors: L. Nierobisz n, N. Hentz n, J. Felts n & P. Mozdziak* 

author keywords: Coenzyme Q(10); Mitochondria; Muscle metabolism; Muscle phenotype; Turkey
MeSH headings : Animals; Blotting, Western; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Immunohistochemistry; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / classification; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / metabolism; Muscle, Skeletal / metabolism; Myosins / metabolism; Succinate Dehydrogenase / metabolism; Turkeys / metabolism; Ubiquinone / analogs & derivatives; Ubiquinone / metabolism
TL;DR: Age-related decreases in mitochondrial CoQ10 content in muscles with fast/glycolytic profile are revealed, and it is demonstrated that muscles with a slow/oxidative phenotypic profile contain a higher proportion of Co Q10 than muscles withA fast/ Glycolysis phenotypesic profile.

2009 journal article

Apoptosis and macrophage infiltration occur simultaneously and present a potential sign of muscle injury in skeletal muscle of nutritionally compromised, early post-hatch turkeys

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY B-BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 153(1), 61–65.

By: L. Nierobisz n, J. Felts n & P. Mozdziak n 

Contributors: L. Nierobisz n, J. Felts n & P. Mozdziak n 

author keywords: Amino acids; Apoptosis; Feed deprivation; Macrophages; Muscle; Satellite cells; Turkey
MeSH headings : Analysis of Variance; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena / physiology; Animals; Apoptosis / physiology; Macrophages / metabolism; Muscle, Skeletal / metabolism; Muscle, Skeletal / physiopathology; Poultry Diseases / diagnosis; Poultry Diseases / metabolism; Poultry Diseases / physiopathology; Turkeys
TL;DR: To histochemically determine the association of apoptosis and/or macrophage infiltration with changes in muscle satellite cell mitotic activity in pectoralis thoracicus muscle of early post-hatch turkey toms, three different levels of crude protein and amino acids were used.

2008 journal article

Organic trace minerals and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol affect performance characteristics, leg abnormalities, and biomechanical properties of leg bones of turkeys

POULTRY SCIENCE, 88(1), 118–131.

By: P. Ferket* , E. Oviedo-Rondon* , P. Mente n, D. Bohorquez *, A. Santos*, J. Grimes*, J. Richards, J. Dibner, V. Felts*

author keywords: turkey; organic trace mineral; 25-hydroxycholecalciferol; leg problem; bone
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Biomechanical Phenomena; Bone Development / drug effects; Bone and Bones / drug effects; Calcifediol / pharmacology; Diet; Dietary Supplements; Hindlimb / pathology; Lameness, Animal / drug therapy; Male; Trace Elements / pharmacology; Turkeys / growth & development; Walking / physiology
TL;DR: Dietary MIN supplementation may improve feed conversion of turkeys, likely by decreasing leg problems and maximum shear stress at failure of femoral bones in a torsion assay was increased by supplementation with both MIN and HyD together. (via Semantic Scholar)
